Playing with Kusudama Paper Flowers!

Ok, so let me just say HOW EASY this was....well, once you pay attention to the directions, lol! I had seen the Kusudama ball on a random blog one day, and I said " I NEED TO DO THAT"!!! So, I found out what it was called, and I found a tutorial about it! But, I will say, that quick I forgot about it! Then, the other night, I saw on My Pink Stamper, they showed a tutorial about it! I knew it was a sign to try it out! So, here they are...Keep in mind, the big one is made the wrong way, but I still like how it turned out!!! Pretty cool!!! Enjoy!

(This one below first is the one made the wrong way..lol)

What an AWFUL day ;(

So, I wake up pretty excited today...turns out we got our first lead last night for our new business! Yea!!! I couldn't wait to get to work to talk to my sister in law about it! AND, not to mention I was VERY excited to have off tomorrow so I could watch my little guy at soccer camp! So, anyway, I'm leaving my house and I go to get into my car, and I see all this black stuff...kinda looked like a BUNCH of CD's blew up...I couldn't figure out what it was, but I opened my back car door and it was everywhere! So, I close the back door, and then I hear the sound of breaking glass! Turns out, someone decided to smash in my back windshield!

WHO DOES THAT??? Apparently, it made the news in PA and NJ because these awful people decided to go and vandalize 10 other cars in 3 other towns! So, I had to use my day off tomorrow for today, and poor booger didn't get to go to soccer camp today! AND, I waited home ALL DAY LONG for the Windshield repair people, only to show up at 3:30 during a torrential down poor. Well, I don't have a garage or a carport, so looks like I waited for NOTHING today....Well, maybe not nothing...I did get a card kicked out! Wanna see it....?

Everything I used was Stampin' Up except for the pearls...they are Recollections.

NOEL Word Book Mini Album

So, this is the first time I EVER made a word book, and let me tell you, it was SO MUCH FUN to make..a little time consuming, but SO MUCH FUN!!! I cannot wait to make my next one! I am in the middle of designing it on my Gypsy now! I cant wait to see how it turns out, and I will certainly post on here once I make it! As for this one, I used Echo Park "Everybody Loves Christmas" paper, Red and Green paper from Michael's, Mistletoe Ribbon from Stampin' Up, and some random embellishments from my tub of stickers...I think these were all from Walmart from last Christmas that I must not have every used! Sure glad I didn't! lol!

Sorry for the day late!!!!

Yea!!!! Its time for the new 2011-2012 Stampin' Up Idea Book and Catalog!!! I am SOO excited for this catalog! There are some really awesome products that are in that catalog!

I must say however, the BEST part of the Idea Book is that they are enrolling new demonstrators for $99!!! That is a steal!!! Tell me, just looking at the website, you couldn't spend $100...now imagine spending the $99 on becoming a demonstrator, THEN getting 30% off your very first order, then 20% off every other order after that! You can even earn MORE money AND FREE trips!!!! Now, why wouldn't you want to do it? Please feel free to reach out to me via email or phone  if you have ANY questions at all!! I will answer ANY of them! You can sign up right on my website... www.jessicarosewilson.stampinup.net I will also reward the first person that I get to sign with a VERY special thank you!

And, if you order off my site in the month on July, I will send you a free 2011 Idea Book which is normally $9.95! I want EVERYONE to be as jazzed about this as I am!!!

So, what are you waiting for?
